Out of School and Out of Work : Risk and Opportunities for Latin America’s Ninis

de Hoyos, Rafael; Rogers, Halsey; Székely, Miguel (2016-01-19)

One in five youth aged 15 to 24 in Latin America is out of school and not working (ninis). Nearly 60 percent of ninis in the region are from poor or vulnerable households in the bottom 40 percent of the income distribution, and 66 percent are women. At the same time, it is men who account for the growth in 2 million ninis during the last 20 years. The study undertakes a comprehensive diagnosis quantifying the problem, develops a conceptual framework identifying the determinants of youths' choices, uses all the available data to test the theoretical implications, and reviews the evidence regarding interventions that have proven effective in keeping youth in school and helping them become employed. The findings of the study offer policy makers in the region with options to provide opportunities to the region's 20 million ninis.

A Survey of the MRV Systems for China's ETS Pilots

Partnership for Market Readiness (2014-07)

This report provides a survey of the key features associated with greenhouse gas (GHG) monitoring, reporting, and verification (MRV) systems that support the pilot emissions trading schemes (ETS) in China. The seven pilots are: Beijing, Chongqing, Guangdong, Hubei, Shanghai, Shenzhen, and Tianjin. This report has the following structure. (1) It begins with an overview of each ETS, to provide context for the MRV systems of the pilots. (2) The second part includes a summary table of the attributes of the MRV systems for all the pilots. (3) The report concludes with observations about the similarities and differences of the MRV systems for the pilots as well as the published rules and procedures for the national MRV system. The technical challenges for developing the MRV are also identified. Practical aspects of the determination of boundaries, development of methodology, acquisition of ...

Incentivizing Social Learning for the Diffusion of Climate-Smart Agricultural Techniques

Adjognon, Guigonan Serge; Huy, Tung Nguyen; Guthoff, Jonas; van Soest, Daan (2022-05)

Unsustainable land use is a key threat to both economic development and environmental conservation in developing countries. This study implemented a randomized controlled trial in arid Burkina Faso to test the effectiveness of financial incentives in stimulating the adoption of sustainable land management practices (SLMPs). It did so in the context of a so-called cascade training program, in which some farmers were trained in the implementation of sustainable land management practices, who were then asked to disseminate their newly acquired knowledge and expertise to other farmers in their social networks. The study finds that offering payments conditional on adoption improves both the transfer of information from the trained to the peer farmers, as well as the peer farmers' sustainable land management practices adoption rates. Offering financial incentives thus mitigates two of ...
